Dissertation

I am writing about the conscious decisions made by people when experiencing pain in regards to continuing participation. A particular theme became apparent in that for people to continue whilst under pain, the concept of 'activity pacing' occurred naturally. However, for this to work, people had to be ready to accept changes to their life and their routine, e.g. slowing down, accepting help or adopting new values.  This can be explained by Prochaska and DiClemente's 1983  Transtheoretical model of health behaviour change, which I wrote a post about as a revision exercise for myself, (coincidently, I am currently getting lots of hits on it, which I assume is from second year OT students - which is why during my thought process I connected the two!!)
